Chapter 393: The First Esoteric Sect

It's not so much a treasure trove of unknown rewards as an ancient palace or a church made of flesh and blood...... Through the flesh door, Mr. Skeleton came to a place that was all too familiar to him.

It seems to be a cult worship place, in addition to many benches made of white bones, there is also an altar made of precious stones in front of it, and the skeleton of various alien creatures is under the altar, no matter how you look at it, there is a sense of evil here......

But Mr. Skeleton knows that this may be the most "compassionate" place in the world.

There is no discrimination.

There are no disputes.

There is no sin.

It dominates the absolute justice of that "continent", and the Mu Empire has gradually changed from the original royal rule to a "theocratic" state...... This form of theocracy is different from other sects because they believe in both the gods and the only "truth" and their doctrine is based on "reason."

Yes, in that ancient era, they could be considered the most sane of cultists.

Advocate the development of science (mechanical) and attach importance to humanistic quality and quality.

Although the legal code of this empire became excessively harsh under the influence of theocracy, it is undeniable...... In an era of strife and war, the heavy code of laws was the foundation of the world, and at least in the midst of the howls of criminals and heretics, the Mu Empire became an ideal land akin to a utopia.

There is no distinction between races, no distinction between high and low classes.

Whether it is the priests who preach or the royal family of the empire, they are all bound and governed by the legal code, and it is not a joke that the prince is guilty of the same crime among the common people, at least under the theocratic rule of the Mu Empire......

The original name of the sect that preached and spread the faith in the empire was "Montauk Esoteric Religion", because the origin of this sect was in the "Montauk Mountains" of the Mu Empire, and it was later officially renamed "First Esoteric Religion" by the Empire, also known as the "Mu Church".

It doesn't have a single leader like the Pope like other sects, if you really want to count it, it has a total of three leaders, and no one knows the real names of those three leaders, only that they come from the three regions of the Mu Empire with the most believers.

The three regions are the city of Mdalos, with its many churches, the Montauk Mountains, where Esoteric Buddhism originated, and the Silent Mountains of Birkingworth.

They professed to be the most loyal and powerful servants of the gods, and the monks who preached the truth to the gods in this world...... Even though after the pale moon rises, the Mu continent is shrouded in a scarlet and bloody fog all year round, and the empire under the gloomy clouds and mist is as terrifying as a nightmare border, but as long as there is a belief spread by Esoteric Buddhism, even if they live in darkness, the people of the Mu Empire will not be in fear all day long, and even they live more fully than modern humans, and it can be said that they live a happier life.

The empire has always pursued the principle of distribution according to work, and the gap between the rich and the poor is very small.

Maybe it's because of the faith.

It could also be that the influence of the doctrine is too great.

The citizens of the Mu Empire have fully embraced the teachings instilled in them by the canon, so their mentality is far happier than outsiders think.

There are hundreds of teachings in the canon of the First Esoteric Sect, and the only thing Mr. Skeleton can recall today is the first few of them, if translated into modern language...... That's about it.

"First, He said that He is the beginning of the world, the source of all things, the soul of the empire, and He said that it is best to believe in Him, and it doesn't matter if you don't believe in Him."

"Second, He said that He wants all life to live happily and happily, to do more good things, and not to do bad things, otherwise he will definitely die an ugly death."

"In the third way, He said, Please take care of all life in this world, no matter how big or small, because they have a purpose of existence, and those who do not kill for the purpose of eating food will be punished by Him."

"Fourth, he said, please look at the weather before you go out to sea, whether you are in a boat or a shameful naked swim, the waves are merciless, and remember, don't risk it for fun."

"Fifth, he said that every kind of life has the right to pursue freedom, and remember not to be driven by desires, not to become the object of his own spit."

"Sixth, He said that He does not like cruel sacrifices, and He does not need any sacrifices or sacrifices, but only wants peace and joy for all those who believe in Him."

"Seventh, he said that the passage of time will make the canon constantly improving, and if you have any good suggestions to Esoteric Buddhism, His apostles will consider it and try to join it, after all, He is the most compassionate listener in the world, and is willing to listen to the voice of every believer."

"Eighth, he said that the camiso bread provided by the church is indeed delicious, but please believers in moderation, don't let the children eat so much, just eat one piece a day, be careful of tooth decay is the most important thing, and the raw materials of the holy bread are really expensive."

"Article 9, He didn't say it, but we all know that He hopes that there will be no more chaotic wars in this world, and there will be no more disputes between sects, if there are good false gods willing to spread truth and peace, then it is naturally best, if there are evil false gods spreading pagan scriptures and carrying out gratuitous killings, then it is the responsibility of each of us to destroy them, even if we are desperate to start a war, we need to make justice happen."

"He said it, and he said it more than once."

"I love you."

"To every good believer, to every life born in the world."

These dogmas may seem like jokes to posterity, and there is not much seriousness in them from beginning to end, but only those who have come into contact with "Him" and have truly listened to the guidance of the gods...... Only they know how true these dogmas really are.

As soon as Mr. Bones walked into the vault, the ancient snail disappeared as if it had never appeared, without even realizing it......

Stepping into the treasury, Mr. Skeleton slowly walked towards the altar, as if he had gone mad, whispering the teachings that were deep in his mind, and tears as red as blood continued to slide down his face.

He had never felt such heart-rending pain, or rather, sorrow.

Sleep, amnesia.

All this made him forget who he was and where he came from and where he was going, but now...... He's already remembered.

He remembered the time when he could see the moonlight when he looked up from the sky.

He remembered the terrible and desperate war cry of that night in the mountains of Montauk.

He remembered the scene when the continent fell into the deep sea and was gradually swallowed up by darkness.

"I ...... I remembered......."

"The Crimson Martyrs of Montauk...... Is that the name you gave me......"

"Martyrs ......"

Mr. Skeleton knelt in front of the altar, and the skin on his body gradually disintegrated, revealing his true face, but compared to the previous appearance of the blood-colored skeleton, he was more like a burning skeleton at this moment, as if the bones above and below Zhou's body had turned into flickering lava.

At that moment, a giant sword made of lava suddenly rose from the altar.

It was Mr. Skulll's weapon.

"It's you...... You're still ......."

Mr. Skeleton stared blankly at the flaming blade, and couldn't help but get up and walk up to the altar and hold it tightly with both hands, at this moment, the umbrella knife he carried with him was turned into molten iron by the heat, as if attracted by some kind of attraction, and they gradually flowed towards the burning greatsword, merging into it at a speed visible to the naked eye......

Now.

Everything is burning.

Chapels, altars, greatblades...... Even Mr. Skeleton's body was consumed by fire as far as the eye could see, but that didn't mean that destruction would be destruction, it was a ritual of rebirth.

That's right.

This martyr who was admired by thousands of people in prehistory......

It's about to be reborn.

"I think of you...... But why...... You will share the same body with Chen Xian...... Or is it ...... You are him..... He's your ......."

"The world has fallen...... It's not your ideal world anymore...... But we can change it......"

"Even if the mainland sinks...... Blood Moon Disintegrates...... But we're still ...... We are still waiting for your return under the deep sea......"

Mr. Skeleton was like a demonic barrier, his mouth kept whispering, and the flames burning on his body began to intensify, and his eyes were full of terrifying fire.

I saw him suddenly pull out the giant sword stuck in the altar.

Raise the greatsword in his right hand.

Place your left hand on your chest.

It seems to be taking an oath, preaching, praying.

"May the blood moon rise as usual."
